Mazaya Monthly Real Estate Report -
Week 1 - December 2015
Al Mazaya Weekly report says that there
are no natural or physical barriers against
feasible investment opportunities around
the world. The current period sees an
increase of mutual foreign investment
around the world and the available
investment opportunities which enjoy
high investment appeal. There was a
clear flow of investments from East
Asian countries towards GCC states
and the UAE in particular, and across all
economic activities and vital areas. The
circulated data indicates that more than
$2.3 billion is the investment volume of
Chinese companies in the United Arab
Emirates. Chinese economic relations see
rapid developments as China maintains
its position as the second largest trading
partner of the UAE. Chinese companies
engaging in the UAE economy amount to
more than 4 thousand and more than 4.5
thousand Chinese brands are registered
with the Ministry of Economy. The
Emirates is also a logistics centre for the
Chinese economy, as it dominates 60%
of Chinese merchandise exports to the
GCC states. Similarly, the adverse volume
of investments currently exceeds 650
projects for UAE companies and Emirati
investors in the Republic of China in
various economic sectors and activities.
Al Mazaya report confirms that the
economic achievements of the UAE
economy, in addition to its strategic
location, developed infrastructure,
giant ports, modern road networks
and unlimited logistical potentials,
are one of the most important factors
of continuation and development of
financial and investment relations
between China and the UAE. There
are numerous promising investment
opportunities to investors and Chinese
companies to the state by virtue of
the continued development projects,
particularly infrastructure and airport
expansion and the development of
tourist facilities, real estate, and
financial services. Similarly, the UAE
economy develops industrial cities
that are able to attract specialised
foreign investments and open up
business development opportunities.
These achievements are a solid
foundation in attracting more foreign
investments and making further
progress at the level of the Chinese
economic relations with the state.
The number of direct flights between
the two countries is growing rapidly,
which indicates increased business
volume in terms of tourist exchanges
that represent the UAE—a favourite
destination among Chinese tourists.
